Prince Albert attractions
Prince Albert, being the largest Northern Saskatchewan city and Third in population and size only to Regina and Saskatoon, is a hub of multiculturalism, travelers, and naturists. There are numerous campgrounds nearby, especially in Prince Albert National Park, which is home to an exceptionally adventurous and scenic hike to Grey Owls Cabin. Waskesiu Lake, located in Prince Albert National Park, is a particularly charming summer resort to visit as well. The city boasts an important history to the formation and creation of Western Canada, and offers a small museum along the North Saskatchewan River, as well as its only a 20-30 minute drive to St.Louis, which the mighty South Saskatchewan River runs through, and is the premiere place for Metis culture and history in Saskatchewan, as its only another 30 minute drive to the Historic Batoche Settlement.
The city of Prince Albert's 'Main Drag' is uptown, and begins with access to several businesses, hotels, and restaurants, including The Northern Lights Casion and Prince Albert Inn, before ending in the city's downtown where fine dining, small shops, The Gateway mall, and access to the highway leading towards Little Red River Park begins. The park is just a 5 minute drive out on the highway, which is a part of the city and offers a vast wilderness of hiking trails and skiing.
There are also many festivals that occur throughout the year in and around Prince Albert. The new Rawlinson Art Center, Art Hauser center, and Saskatchewan Provincial Court House are attractive venues(for various reasons, we suppose). The Rawlinson center plays host to the city's booming music scene, and taste for the arts of Prince Albert and those who come here.
Prince Albert is the central hub for Saskatchewan Hunters and Fishermen looking to go the various lakes, and vast wilderness of Northern Saskatchewan. The city offers places of taxidermy, guide services, and several outlets for transportation needs, accommodations, equipment and supplies. The City is also just 30-45 minutes from Christopher Lake, Emma Lake, Candle Lake, and Prince Albert National Park; all of which offer supreme camping and fishing on some of Saskatchewans largest and pristine commercial lakes. Further North are most notably, Big River, Montreal Lake, McLean Lake, and Montreal River.
John G. Diefenbaker's residence, once a Prime Minister of Canada, can be found here as well. The city is home to the WHL team, the Prince Albert Raiders, the Midget AAA team Prince Albert Mintos, a brand new Bowling Alley, Hockey rink, Forestry Center, Arts Center and Provincial Court House.
